Sesshumaru was in his large office, arguing fervidly withtwo other lawyers representing a rival company. He was wearing a black suit and tied his hair as a ponytail.

"I will not accept that you make from my company a fool. You will restrict to the prices specified by the government and I warn you, do not try to over cross me because I will rip your companies apart and feed it to the dogs." He said with an emotionless voice.

"How dare you, Taisho?" asked the other lawyer, his face red with anger. He was about forty years old. "The company I am representing wants a part of your benefits if you want it to stick to your oh so honest rules."

"I will give your company no benefits and I warn you too for the last time, don't interfere in things that are greater than your capacity. The government has settled the prices and those prices we shall use. This is final."

"I will not accept that sort of dominance," argued the other lawyer who seemed calmer than the first one. "My friend."

Sesshumaru looked at his former best friend in college, the one who chose to work for their rival company instead of theirs, with disappointment in his eyes.

"My dominance is necessary." He responded, not breaking eye contact with him. "I want the survival of the ethics of my company before the profit that you are trying to seduce me with, old friend."

"Then you are still naïve as ever, Sesshumaru."

The golden eyes shined with anger.

"Do you think that I, being honest, mean that I am naïve? I thought you knew me better than that, after all, we used to be inseparable."

"You have an old habit of staying in the past, my friend."

With that, the two lawyers started to pack all their papers. Sesshumaru's eyes didn't leave that of his friend for one second.

"Taking good care of Rin?"

Sesshumaru nodded simply.

"Why is that you are asking me about her Chris?"

"Because she is my sister." He responded as he packed all his belongings and went to the door.

"And because I don't want her to be anywhere with you."

Sesshumaru's eyes went dark.

"I don't want your sister Chris and I will never take advantage of her, never."

"Then leave her alone. I don't want you seducing her at every corner. Just stick with the bitches you go out with."

The ambiance became colder then winter as the two friends exchanged hateful looks.

"Okay." Sesshumaru finally said, making the old lawyer shift in discomfort at how rough his voice was. "I will not make any advance towards your sister, I promise. Is that what is bothering you Chris?"

"See you later Taisho. Our company shall be informed by your lack of cooperation."

"Just tell Naraku that, I and he will never be associates, never."

Chris just shook his head as he left the office. Once outside, he looked at the other lawyer.

"He is such a liar." He said, the anger he was holding until now exploding. "He thinks he is some kind of new species of arrogant. I will have his company ruined, I swear."

Kagome was in Inuyasha's car as he was returning her home. Uncomfortable silence laid between the two as they both watched the road in silence. It was not her fault if he was acting so lusty with her. She didn't want him to kiss her, although she did enjoy the kiss. She looked at him from the corner of her eye. Why was he damn handsome and mysterious? Wait, was she saying this? No, he was an arrogant, a jerk. She crossed her legs, angered by her proper thoughts when her cell phone rang making them look at it in the same time.

"I don't know that number." She said while flipping it over.

"Hello?"

"Hello." Responded a cold voice that she knew well, but inside the coldness, she could feel a little of hurt. Inuyasha eyed her suspiciously for being so discrete about the identity.

"What's wrong?" she asked with a little of concern. Sesshumaru laughed bitterly on the other side.

"Isn't a man capable of calling his girlfriend without the fact that something is wrong?"

He laughed again, and she could sense the bitterness in his voice. A little silence went between them and she didn't interrupt him, respecting the state he was in.

"Where are you?" he asked in such a low voice that she had to concentrate to be able to hear properly.

"With a friend." She responded as she bit her lips.

"Oh, I didn't mean to disturb you, I will just…"

"No!" she cried making Inuyasha look at her, his eyes piercing her. "Don't, tell me Sesshy, what is going on?"

She winked as the car accelerated, Inuyasha not being able to contain his anger rising to the surface as he knew the identity of the caller. She relaxed a little, remembering that Inuyasha was a good driver and focused on the phone call, not without sending a death glare to the man just next to her.

"I cannot tell you on the phone, I just need to see you."

"Where do you want us to meet?"

The car turned around dangerously making Kagome's heart skip a beat as Inuyasha turned on the corner, making a huge sound of brakes.

"Kagome?" asked Sesshumaru, worried. "What the hell was that sound?

"Oh nothing, I am just next to the street. So, where do you want us to meet?" she asked again as the car pulled in front of her house.

"There is this big restaurant that just opened and I would like to take you there. Its name is 'délicieux'"

"Okay."

"Great!" he cheered. "Then I will pick you up at eight?"

"Eight o'clock it is." She smiled. Silence broke again into their conversation.

"Kagome." He said with a very tender voice. "I want you to know that if I ever had to choose a girlfriend, it will be you."

She blushed, a deep red, hearing her heart race for the compliment.

"Thank you." She murmured in a little smile. "See you tonight."

"Can't wait." He responded before hanging up. Kagome looked at her cell phone before slipping it back into her purse.

"You're going out with him tonight, aren't you?" Inuyasha asked without removing his eyes from the road.

"Yes I am." She answered, looking at him with her big blue orbs.

"Get out." He ordered his face unreadable. She looked at him confused before he shouted again.

"Out of my car!"

"Fine, I am leaving." She groaned as she opened the door. "And I am telling it to you, stay away from me, I don't want you near me. I even don't want to see your face. Don't call me, don't say my name, and don't think about me."

For the first time, he looked at her, anger all over his face.

"Who the hell told you that I was thinking of you. You even don't deserve my thoughts. As if I was stupid enough to think of one of the bitches of my brother."

"How dare you!" she shouted. He just continued his insults.

"I have girls dancing around me, just to please me. What makes you think that you are even important for me to eye you? I was just testing you to see how easy you are."

"And what did you discover?" she mocked with anger.

"I found that you don't even deserve my test. Now out of my car. Go to the arms of my big brother. He may take you in front of me and I won't even care."

His words humiliated her to no end. So to revenge her honor she tried to slap him right on the cheek, but he was faster than her and grabbed her arm before her strike made it to its destination. She jolted with anger and tried to hit him with her other free hand but he also caught her before she succeeded.

"Let me go!" she shouted.

"Why? So that you smack me in the face?"

"Yes I will you piece of crap."

"Indecent bitch."

"Smug face."

"IQ monster."

"Dickhead."

They just stared at each other in anger before he jerked himself towards her, making her fall but caught her before she could get out of the car.

"Don't you dare." She warned as she closed her long eyelashes, eagerly awaiting his hungry kiss but nothing came. She opened her eyes, a little disappointed.

"You have a date with my brother. You should go and prepare yourself for that. I promise that I will not ravage your privacy anymore, do you understand me?" he said, his eyes a little sad.

She just shook her head as he opened her door from the inside.

"Now go."

Rin walked into the office of Sesshumaru, followed closely by the secretary.

"You cannot enter miss, please, miss."

Rin just ignored her and looked at the young man sitting in his big chair.

"I am sorry Mr. Taisho. I told her that you cannot see anyone at the moment but she just refused."

"I want to talk to you Sesshumaru." Said Rin as she looked at him. "And I really mean it."

Sesshumaru just looked at her before shifting his eyes to his secretary.

"That's alright. You can go now."

He waited until they became alone before looking directly at her from his chair. She looked at him in amazement. How was she able to treat him as she did, him, the man she loves?

"Sesshumaru, I want to say that…"

"Rin." He interrupted her while he took a pen from his desk and started to play with it lazily. "Before you say anything I want you to know that we are officially over. We are just friends and I would like you to know that. I don't want you to be seen alone with me, and I don't want you to tell me anymore of the things you said earlier yesterday. I don't love you and I free you from any obligation towards me. In addition, I want you to know that I respect you and your family as much as I respect my own family and I would like you to see yourself as my little sister."

Rin was choked to no limits as he talked such horrible things with his so monotonous voice.

"I will never be your sister." She said firmly, trying not to cry.

"I am not trying to invade the place of your brother, I just meant…"

"And you cannot tell me what to do or not. I have my own free will and I shall use it as it pleases me."

"I have no doubt of that."

Suddenly, they were interrupted by the sound of his interphone. He clicked a button and the voice of his secretary rang in the whole office.

"Mr. Taisho, I have just reserved you a table with Miss Kagome. But they are asking in the restaurant if you want just a table or the whole restaurant to be reserved."

"Just a table." He responded dryly before ending the call. His secretary was crazy to say such a thing in the presence of Rin. He averted his gaze towards Rin who was now inches from his chair on his side of the desk.

"I understand. It is for that Kagome that you are dumping me."

"No Rin, it is not the case."

"Then what is it?"

"I just cannot explain. You are not fit to me, way too young."

"Kagome is younger then I am."

"Perhaps, but she is more mature."

"I am hell of a mature girl." She shouted as she approached him further more. "And I will show you what that girl will never be able to give you."

Sesshumaru shook his head negatively.

"It is pointless Rin. Our relationship has made us both suffer. It has been dislocated and unbalanced from the first day and I think it is time to take a break from it. Let us not argue Rin."

"Okay." She answered calmly as she now stood in front of him, watching him from up. "Let us not argue."

He nodded his head in relief for her answer when she pushed herself on his lap. He stared at her in disbelief as she looked at his eyes.

"Let us not argue." She repeated as she kissed him passionately on his lips. He started to protest against her mouth when she deepened the kiss even more, blushing while she did it. Then she took his tie between her hands and undid it as he kissed her, taken aback by the surprise. She continued her way to his white shirt, unbuttoning it and touched his bare chest, feeling heat rush all over her body. Sesshumaru felt the touch directly on his bare skin and lost his control as he cleaned his desk by his arm then placed her on it before placing himself above her. She was blushing madly, but seeing the uncertainty in his eyes she pushed her lips again on his making him forget everything around him. He slid his hands from her face to her shirt and started to lift it from her stomach slowly as he saw the creamy skin beginning to be exposed. He then kissed the curve of her neck making her moan against him and slid her shirt off her, leaving her in her top under wears. He was about to deepen his actions, dazed by her love when his cell phone rang. He immediately stopped, realizing that he was about to make the greatest mistake in his life. He jumped from her.

"No!" She shouted as she retained him by the hand. "I am yours to take. I am giving you myself."

"Dress yourself." He simply stated before he grabbed his shirt and put it on then answered the phone.

"Yes Kagome? Yes, I bought you that dress that just arrived, yes put it on. I thought it will match the color of your eyes. Okay, see you tonight."

He hung up and turned to find a fully dressed Rin.

"Now leave."

She stood in front of him, tears in her eyes.

"You will regret it Sesshumaru." She said as she made her way out of his office. Sesshumaru fell on his chair and put his hands on his face.

"I almost took her, I will never stay alone with her again."
